Makeup! I don't like makeup!

Me neither. However I'm just starting to explore it and I guess I can get used to it, but my avatar is sans makeup and I want to reach the point where I can pass without it. It will happen, just needs time (and hormones)

True, I also like most everything. My fave thing about being a woman is my relationships with my girlfriends! 

Regarding things I truly hate, most of the things have to do with men. I imagine some of the things listed below may even appeal to someone who hasn't transitioned, but trust me they are real problems and differences that, sure enough, really do exist!

1) The surprise some men show when I display competence and intelligence. It's like they're seeing a magic trick or something. They don't believe it.

2) The emphasis on our looks, and the general idea that aging and older women aren't attractive anymore. Meanwhile men age and get more..."distinguished." HA.

3)  Not being able to be friends with some guys. A guy might seem really cool, or you might just enjoy hanging out with them...but get TOO friendly and even a long-time guy friend might suddenly make a pass, which is really awkward and makes you fee like ->-bleeped-<-.

4) It is MY responsibility to consider that if I we speak more than a couple of sentences, guys might think we're into them.

5) Girls are way harder on other girls. Talking behind backs, giving misinformation. Ugh. It is possible even to be shunned by other girls. As in you do something wrong and they team up ignore you, leave you out... punish you. I am an adult even, but crap that hurts and is super effective.

6) Sometimes it can suck to be "such a girl". Not being able to hold back tears when you really want to, or  being physically unable to perform some strength-requiring tasks. It also makes you realise how much stronger men are, that they CAN overpower you no matter how stubborn you might be...so you start to want to watch your own back, and worry about being home alone.

7) Being superior to men. Nah, j/k I don't hate that!

Not really. The light makes it look that way. It was in bright sunlight. I have significant shadow in that one actually.

This one is how I look when I wake up in the morning:



I also have some marks from electrolysis but they fade in a week or two.

I really envy girls who can do proper makeup. I'm hoping I can get good at it. Next paycheck I'm probably going to sephora and asking for help.

everything except toilet queues 

It's no laugh when in a toilet queue, I really hate those moments, there's never a toilet queue outside the mens, I'm bursting to go, what can a girl do, just take my place in the queue, it's worse this time of year in a shopping mall.

For me, it is picking out furniture. I seriously do not like leather couches: it's like sitting on a giant leather sneaker! LOL

Hmmm off topic, but; I love leather lounges / couches cool in the summer (when you first get on them)... easier to clean, tend not to stain so much...

Lack of pockets. I still don't understand why pockets are on jeans other than for stuffing a few minor things in it. Sometimes I swear that women clothing is made because women are expecting some man to handle everything, or they just want to sell me a purse that I don't want.

That's another thing. I just don't get these expensive purses thing. Why spend $500 on a handbag? I don't get it. I must be a wretched bag lady to these women toting around expensive handbags when I buy mine at walmart

[PinkCloud]

Hmmm lemme see... I have a couple more.

1. The fact that woman are supposed to be(have) a certain way.
2. The extreme focus on the body.
3. The age factor: being too old after 35. Ask men!
4. Earning less money, than males.
5. Lower status, not being taken seriously.
6. Always have to be the responsible one. Men are allowed to stay immature to in their forties, playing stupid games and be crybabies.
7. Being too emotional.
8. Coping with emotionally stunted men.

I ain't pleasing anyone. Especially men.

DAMN I forgot that one! I reeeeeally hate that, it's up there near the top!

Then there's "fake pockets" too.

On this^^___^^, I really hated pocket bulges and carrying around just a wallet that never could hold enough things. So because of this even with pockets I never use them. Now that I carry around a purse being able to carry what I need with me is no longer an issue for me to worry about. My friend says my purse is a Black Hole I put so much stuff in it, lol!

As for purses, I'll spend anywhere from $20. to $100. on them depending on where I buy them, and how much I likey. Currently my most expensive is a leather purse from Calvin Klin. There's nothing wrong with Wal-Mart purses, I currently have two. A lot of women get purses there as they are decent quality and reasonable.

I absolutely love this string.  Being a woman feels so right but it has its challenges. Hugs Shannon

I love my hair.  I miss being able to get out of the shower and fix it in under a minute.

[Heather14]

What drives me crazy is the sizing of clothes. In guy's clothes XL is XL but in a girl's world XL can go from medium to 5X with the way it fits. The same with a bra cup. A is not A depending on the manufacture.  Another that was mentioned was the prices of purses.

But I do love the unlimited variation in clothing that guys just don't have. I love smooth legs and panties. I also love having my nails polished.

Being treated like a child. It was one thing before HRT. I looked like a child. It's quite another to have people do that when I'm 50.
